| The Unnamed One is a mysterious Elemental deity from the time
before recorded history. He is a dark god who delights in mystery and
spreading his influence over the land. The power behind the Unnamed One is
thought to be Neutral and Evil but none are sure. His priests are feared
for their fanatical devotion to his will. The Unnamed One is the patron
deity of the Undead and those who worship them. The Dark One does not hate life but rather revels in death
and the powers of entropy.
History/Relationships: The
Unnamed One was written about in the oldest history in Traykon. Some sages
believe that he is one of the original deities to come to Traykon. All
deities of life and nature oppose the Dark One. His priests often find
allies with priests of Aragon and the Lost God. Wherever the priests of
the three religions cooperate, destruction and ruin is sure to follow.
His
fortress within the Shadow World is known as a place of great despair.
Those souls who die in Traykon without a strong belief in a divine patron find
themselves drawn toward his citadel. Dogma: Followers
of the Dark One preach that he is at the end of all life. He embodies the
final death. His followers often find themselves dispensing his
"mercy" at the sites of large battles. Unscrupulous, and often
unpopular, rulers often employ them to raise "reinforcements" troops from those slain during major battles. The Unnamed One teaches his
followers that death is not the end. Death is but a doorway to a new existence.
Special: Devout living followers of the
Unnamed One are often gifted with the Dark Mark.
Avatar: The Unnamed One is one of the Elder Elemental Gods and as such he retains the power to manifest his Avatar on Traykon at will. Even given this ability, he seldom will manifest preferring instead to draw mortals into his personal realm nestled between the Plane of Shadow and the Negative Energy Plane. |
